Spain, editors at the feet of Google – Computer Point

Rome – The decision of the last days of Google, who has chosen to leave Spain with your news aggregator, is already having an impact in the country: the publishers seem prepared to ask the government to intervene again on the issue to resolve it.

The choice of Google was however was the direct result of the pressure of the previous ‘ Asociación de Editores de Diarios Espanoles (AEDE) on the Spanish Parliament, which led to’ approval of a new law in the country will come into force from January and that will change – in particular with art. 32.3 – copyright forcing news aggregators to pay a contribution to the content producers also to be able to publish only a small preview.

The service, in fact, is not remunerated by advertising revenue: Google going to pay a donation to publishers at a loss or meditates going to declare war through the courts. As was done in Germany, Mountain View prefers to weigh their absence, yielding to the pressure of publishers . The ouster by the aggregator German previews of the contents of the editors in revolt, he soon pushed the publishers themselves to backtrack and “grant” licensed to Google News their news, finally aware of the utility of the service in terms traffic.

Similarly Spanish publishers are realizing the lack of service from Google and after pressure to force him to pay for the use of content, would now asked the government to force him to stay in the country.
A move, still, is AEDE: a statement expressed its regret for the closure of Google News.
